ARTICLE SEARCHING

Social Science Databases

Some of these databases focus on aging and gerontology, while others cover many other subjects as well; in those cases, adding search terms such as aged, aging, elders, elderly, and senior citizens will return better results.

Currently only available in the ARLIS library. Provides extensive worldwide indexing of journal articles, reports, commentaries, edited works, and obituaries in the fields of social, cultural, physical, biological, and linguistic anthropology, ethnology, archaeology, folklore, material culture, and interdisciplinary studies.

Health and Medical Databases

As with the Social Science databases above, adding aged, aging, elders, elderly, senior citizens, and similar terms to searches will return better results.
